Have you tried speed dating yet? A lot of people are hesitant to try it because they believe that 5 minutes isn’t enough time to get to know someone, or because they feel uncomfortable doing it. These are legit reasons. However, if you go into speed dating with the a positive attitude and use these tips you will find it to be an awesome experience:

First Impressions

Your looks don’t matter too much. What’s more important is your style. What does the way you dress say about you? I’m not saying to dress like a rock star. Just be stylish. As long as you’re not dressed like a computer salesman, you’ll be fine. Use first impressions to your advantage.

Positivity

This doesn’t only apply to speed dating tips. Positivity is essential in all your interactions. When you have a huge smile on your face, people think “Wow, that guy must have his stuff together.” It instantly says so many good things about you. Also, watch your nervous habits like tapping your fingers or feet.

Don’t Drink… Too Much

I’ve made this mistake before. If you’re like me, alcohol makes you feel invincible and may cause you to do and say stupid stuff. Just drink enough to stay relaxed and to get your conversation juices flowing. It’s four minutes, you want to express yourself in a good way.

Focus On The Girl

Learn as much as you can about the other person in the time you have. Be genuinely interested. Everyone has standards in their mind of what kind of partner they want. Ask her questions and find out if she fits yours. Don’t be afraid to express yourself as well. If you say something dumb and she doesn’t like you, then it probably wouldn’t have worked out anyway. Find out what she’s passionate about and ask her questions about that.

Entertain Yourself

Speed dating is not a test or a serious event. It’s meant to be fun and playful. See it as an opportunity to meet a bunch of people and have a good time. Always entertain yourself and have fun with it. If you’re having fun, chances are the people you’re talking to will have fun as well. Simply look at it as an opportunity to meet lots of interesting people and make some new friends.

Keep these speed dating tips in mind when you go and you’ll be sure to have a good time!

Big Dating Myths — And Surprising Truths

Filed under: myth, study, truth — Tags: according, being, date, feel, first, guys, myth, person, study, stuff, talk, truth, university, women — admin @ 7:34 pm

MYTH: When you’re prepping to go out on the prowl, put on a barely there outfit — men like women who show lots and lots of skin.

TRUTH: A new study published in the journal Behaviour found that, to reel in the boys, the ideal amount of flesh you should reveal is 40 percent. A crop top and mini crosses the line from seductive to skanky.

MYTH: If you’re into a guy, make the first move on him.

TRUTH: Smile at him, but then wait for him to come to you. A Northwestern University study discovered that the person who does the approaching usually ends up falling harder.

MYTH: While chatting him up on a date, focus on your shared interests.

TRUTH: Discussing stuff you have in common will make you feel connected. However, it’s also key to talk about interesting personal experiences and hobbies that are different from his. According to experts, being exposed to new and exciting things increases the chemical dopamine in our bodies, and that in turn builds interest and passion.

MYTH: Eat a low-calorie meal like veggies and salad when out with a guy in order to show that you’re attractive and take good care of yourself.

TRUTH: Despite a recent study from McMaster University in Canada that found women tend to do just that, most guys actually go for chicks who will eat a real meal in front of them, says Scott Kudia, author of If This Is Love, Why Am I Unhappy? Not that you should stuff your face, but men want to be with someone who will be herself around him. Nibbling at rabbit food reads as phony and guarded.

MYTH: The first thing that grabs guys’ attention is your eyes.

TRUTH: In a Cosmo and AskMen.com poll, 62 percent of guys notice a hot body. Only 27 percent are lured in by seductive eyes. (See myth #1 for a tip on how to show off your curves in the sexiest way.)

MYTH: It’s a good idea to “friend” a guy you’re dating, so that you can get to know each other better and feel closer.

TRUTH: A study published in CyberPsychology and Behavior found that being Facebook friends with the person you’re seeing increases relationship jealousy (ahem, like by clicking through pics of each other with your respective exes). It also leads to a sense of over familiarity that can doom a relationship, particularly in the early stages.

MYTH: Don’t talk about yourself too much on a date or you’ll seem narcissistic. Instead, ask him plenty of questions.

TRUTH: You should absolutely show sincere interest in him. But it’s equally essential to refer to yourself during conversation. Men go for women who use the word I frequently, according to a study published in Personal Relationships. Researchers surmise it’s because that term indicates self-disclosure, which promotes intimacy and closeness. It also reflects your independence — a huge turn-on.
